The photocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) represents a sustainable strategy for the conversion of biomass-based platform compounds into high-value chemicals. In this work, a supramolecular self-assembly strategy is employed to synthesize tubular carbon nitride (T-MCN), and sodium ion-doped carbon nitride (Na-T-MCN) is obtained via sodium chloride-assisted thermal polymerization. The optimized catalyst demonstrates superior activity in the oxidation of 5-HMF, achieving a high yield of FDCA (90%) within 8 h. The exceptional photocatalytic performance of Na-T-MCN is attributed to the incorporation of Na+ ions and cyanamide groups, which facilitate the separation of photogenerated charges and holes. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, intermediate trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy are employed to investigate the dynamics of photoinduced charge separation, electron transfer, and the reaction pathway of photocatalytic oxidation of 5-HMF. The findings reveal that the key active species in the oxidation reaction are the •O2– and h+ species. This study provides a viable and efficient strategy for converting biomass platform compounds into high-value-added products.

Metabolites of dietary fibers which consist of non-digestible carbohydrates (usually as plant-based polysaccharides) exert many benefits on gastrointestinal health. Previous studies proved that polysaccharides can change intestinal metabolic pathways, increase metabolite levels and alleviate intestinal inflammation. Our previous studies have shown that polysaccharide from Aloe vera gel (AGP) alleviated intestinal barrier dysfunction. However, whether intestinal protective function of AGP was related to metabolites need further exploration. Therefore, the effects of AGP on intestinal metabolites and the relevant mechanisms for subsequent mitigation of intestinal damage was investigated in this work. Metabolomics analysis results showed that AGP promoted tryptophan metabolism to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Intriguingly, antibiotics treatment decreased the expression of tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1) in the intestinal epithelium of mice, and TPH1 inhibitor (PCPA) down-regulated 5-HT level in colonic contents, proving that AGP up-regulated TPH1 expression in the intestinal epithelium by restoring intestinal microbiota homeostasis, thus promoted the intestinal tryptophan metabolism to 5-HT. Combination of bioinformatics analysis of RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) in mice colon and the reported relationship among “5-HT, Htr4 (one of the 5-HT receptors), Kit + goblet cells, canonical Wnt pathway and intestinal stem cells (ISCs)” guided the confirmation of related mechanism in intestinal organoids (IOs) that 5-HT regulated ISCs function and intestinal barrier via Htr4-Kit-Wnt3 axis. Overall, AGP promoted 5-HT production to alleviate intestinal injury. This study revealed the effects of polysaccharides on intestinal health, which was critical and may provide new insights for the reasonable selection of dietary fiber to prevent intestinal inflammation and maintain intestinal function.

Heterogeneous catalysis occurs through a process of interfacial reactions; therefore, both surface facet and size control can increase catalytic efficiency. Octahedral Pd nanocrystals, enclosed by {111} facets, should be the ideal geometrical shape for Heck coupling reactions; however, it is challenging to synthesize 5 nm Pd octahedrons with a relatively uniform size distribution using existing capping-agent techniques. Here, we used palladium as a model system to investigate how the kinetics of atomic addition could be precisely controlled using a syringe pump. As a result, our method produced Pd octahedrons as small as 5 nm, which increased the catalytic efficiency of Heck coupling reactions while reducing the weight of catalyst used.

Three coordination polymers—{[Ag2(SIP)(4-pp)]·[Ag(4-pp)2]·H2O}n, [Pb4(SIP)2(μ3-OH)2(H2O)2]n, and {[Zn2(SIP)2(4-pp)4][Zn(4-pp)2(H2O)4]·4H2O}n (SIP = 5-sulfoisophthalic acid anion, 4-pp = 4-phenylpyridine)—are constructed under hydrothermal or solvothermal conditions using sodium m-phthalate 5-sulfonate (NaH2SIP) and 4-phenylpyridine as ligands. The structures of the three complexes are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analyses, Fourier-transform infrared analysis, and photoluminescence. The fluorescent properties of the complexes in the solid state are investigated at room temperature, and the results indicate that they all show photoluminescent properties.

Waste cooking oil (WCO) energy development offers an effective method for producing renewable fuels , enabling simultaneous resource recovery and pollution reduction. This study aims to develop a novel bimetallic Fe(Ni)-Ru/ZSM-5 catalyst toward H 2 -rich syngas production from WCO. The results show that Fe-Ru/ZSM-5 produced a higher maximum H 2 yield (84.05 μmol·g cat. −1 ·s −1 ) than did Ni-Ru/ZSM-5 (41.76 μmol·g cat. −1 ·s −1 ) when fed at a 50 L/min rate at an optimal temperature of 700 °C. Fe-Ru/ZSM-5 presented a more prolific microporous distribution, whose structure contributes to the diffusion of the short-chain hydrocarbon intermediate reactants to enhance hydrogen production . Fe(III) can help to improve the conversion ratio of benzene and the anti‑carbon deposition capability of the catalyst. The dealumination and oxidation decreases the stability of the catalyst and may lead to inactivation. Furthermore, this study discusses the mechanism of bimetallic-loaded catalysts combining noble metals with transition metals in WCO pyrolysis . The results point to effective new approaches to increase H 2 production through the catalytic pyrolysis of WCO.

Abstract A series of metal-modified hierarchical M/H-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared for catalytic conversion of cellulose in an aqueous medium. Characterization of the catalysts showed that the impregnation of metal into H-ZSM-5 did not change the basic framework and pore structure of H-ZSM-5, but it decreased the total acidity. Analysis of the products indicated that the catalysts significantly affected products distribution. When Co/H-ZSM-5 and Fe/H-ZSM-5 were used as the catalysts, the yields of lactic acid and cyclic ketones obviously increased. At last, a recommendable catalytic transformation pathway of cellulose over M/H-ZSM-5 was proposed on the basis of the obtained experimental results and the published literatures. Graphical Abstract In this paper, a series of metal-modified hierarchical M/H-ZSM-5 (M = Ce, Co, Ga, and Fe) catalysts were prepared and employed in catalytic conversion of cellulose in aqueous media to examined the products distribution of cellulose catalytic conversion. Based on our results and previous works, the plausible general reaction pathways of cellulose over M/H-ZSM-5 were proposed.

Background Chemotherapy, as an adjuvant treatment strategy for HER2-positive breast cancer, can effectively improve clinical symptoms and overcome the drug resistance of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Nucleoside analogues are a class of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs that are widely applied in adjuvant therapy. However, there are many critical issues that limit their clinical efficiency, including poor selectivity and stability, severe side effects and suboptimal therapeutic efficacy. Hence, this work aims to develop a new DNA nanocarrier for targeted drug delivery to solve the above problems.Methods Four 41-mer DNA strands were synthesized and 10 FUdR molecules were attached to 5ʹ end of each DNA strand by DNA solid-phase synthesis. An affibody molecule was connected to the end of polymeric FUdR through a linker in one of the four strands. The affibody-FUdR-tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (affi-F/TDNs) were self-assembled through four DNA strands, in which one vertex was connected to an affibody at the end of a polymeric FUdR tail and three vertices were only polymeric FUdR tails. In vitro cellular uptake of affi-F/TDNs was examined visually with confocal fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, and the cytotoxicity of affi-F/TDNs against cancer cells was investigated with MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining method. Using NOD/SCID (Mus Musculus) mice model, the targeted killing efficacy of affi-F/TDNs was also evaluated.Results The drug-loading of FUdR in affi-TDNs was 19.6% in mole ratio. The in vitro results showed that affi-F/TDNs had high selectivity and inhibition (81.2%) for breast cancer BT474 cells overexpressing HER2 and low toxicity in MCF-7 cells with low HER2 expression. During the in vivo application, affi-F/TDNs displayed good stability in the blood circulation, achieved specific accumulation in tumor region and the best antitumor efficacy (inhibition ratio of 58.1%), and showed excellent biocompatibility.Conclusions The affibody-DNA tetrahedrons, as a simple and effective active targeting delivery nanocarrier, provided a new avenue for the transport of nucleoside antitumor drugs.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Pogostemon cablin , commonly named “Guang-Huo-Xiang” in China, has long been renowned for its ability to dispel dampness and regulate gastrointestinal functions. Patchouli oil (P.oil), the major active fraction of Pogostemon cablin , has been traditionally used as the principal component of Chinese medicinal formulae to treat exterior syndrome and diarrhea. However, the effects of P.oil in treating 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced intestinal mucositis have not yet been reported. Aim of the study To investigate the protective effects of P.oil against 5-FU-induced intestinal mucositis and the mechanisms underlying these effects. Materials and methods Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with 5-FU (30 mg/kg) to establish an intestinal mucositis model. Meanwhile, rats with intestinal mucositis were orally administered with P.oil (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg). Histological analysis, ELISA (for detecting inflammatory cytokines and aquaporins), immunohistochemistry analysis (for examining caspases), qRT-PCR analysis (for assessment tight junctions), and western blotting analysis (for the assessment of TLR2/TLR4-MyD88 and VIP-cAMP-PKA signaling pathway-related proteins) were performed to estimate the protective effects of P.oil against intestinal mucositis and the mechanisms underlying these effects. Results The histopathological assessment preliminarily exhibited that P.oil alleviated the 5-FU-induced damage to the intestinal structure. After P.oil administration, the elevation of the expression of cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-13) decreased markedly and the activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling was significantly inhibited. P.oil also increased the mRNA expression of ZO-1 and Occludin , thereby stabilizing intestinal barrier. In addition, P.oil decreased the expressions of caspase-8, caspase-3, and Bax, and increased the expression of Bcl-2, thereby reducing the apoptosis of the intestinal mucosa. These results were closely related to the regulation of the TLR2/TLR4-MyD88 signaling pathway. It has been indicated that P.oil possibly protected the intestinal barrier by reducing inflammation and apoptosis. Furthermore, this study showed that P.oil inhibited the abnormal expression of AQP3, AQP7, and AQP11 by regulating the VIP-cAMP-PKA signaling pathway. Furthermore, it restored the intestinal water absorption, thereby alleviating diarrhea. Conclusions P.oil ameliorated 5-FU-induced intestinal mucositis in rats via protecting intestinal barrier and regulating water transport.

Alkylation of benzene to value-added, high octane number and low toxic toluene and xylenes provides a way to lower benzene content in gasoline pool, and is hence a method to promote fuel quality. On the other hand, CO 2 accumulation in the atmosphere causes global warming and requires effective route for its valorization. Utilization of CO 2 as a carbon source for benzene alkylation could achieve both goals. Herein, alkylation of benzene with CO 2 and H 2 was realized by a series of low-cost bifunctional catalysts containing zinc/titanium oxides (Zn/Ti oxides) and HZSM-5 molecular sieves in a fixed-bed reactor. By regulating and controlling oxygen vacancies of Zn/Ti oxides and the acidities of HZSM-5, benzene conversion and CO 2 conversion reached 28.7% and 29.9% respectively, along with a total selectivity of toluene and xylene higher than 90%. In this process, more than 25% CO 2 was effectively utilized and incorporated into the target products. Moreover, the mechanism of the reaction was analyzed and the course was simultaneously traced. CO 2 was transformed into methanol firstly, and then methanol reacted with benzene generating toluene and xylene. The innovation provides a new method for upgrading of fuels and upcycling the emissions of CO 2 , which is of great environmental and economic benefits.

Graphical A green and efficient strategy for synthesizing phosphorus modified ZSM-5 zeolite is proposed by grinding phosphorus source, silicon source and aluminum source with the solvent-free conditions. Phosphorus-modified ZSM-5 zeolites exhibited higher light olefin selectivity and longer catalytic lifetime (33 h) in methanol to olefin reaction when the weight hourly space velocity was 4 h −1 . The traditional hydrothermal synthesis strategy of ZSM-5 zeolite is energy-consumption accompanying by pollution issues. Herein, phosphorus-modified layered ZSM-5 zeolites (PZ) were obtained by one-pot synthesis under solvent-free conditions. The synthesized samples were fully characterized by XRD, SEM, BET, NH 3 -TPD and FTIR. The effect of phosphorus addition on the morphology and catalytic activity of ZSM-5 was investigated. The results showed that phosphorus-modified ZSM-5 zeolites exhibited higher light olefin (ethylene and propylene) selectivity (above 50 %) and longer catalytic lifetime (33 h) in methanol to olefin (MTO) reaction when the weight hourly space velocity was 4 h −1 . Phosphorus-modified ZSM-5 zeolite synthesized by in situ solvent-free method, which not only reduced the discharge of sewage but also showed a simple method to realize the introduction of phosphorous species, which provided a new idea for phosphorus modification of ZSM-5 zeolite.
